After an impressive 6 six game win streak, Doc River's Boston Celtics symbolically lost to Austin River's New Orleans Hornets.
The Celtics were struggling through the start of the 2012/13 season until they started going back to good old habits of smothering teams with their defence. Jeff Green, Courtney Lee and Jared Sullinger were vital for each of these wins. With the increase in talent in the league, 5 starters are not enough to win a game.
Boosted by the return of starter Avery Bradley the Celts kept teams under 40% field goal percentage. With scores like 94-75 against the Indiana Pacers, 89-81 vs Atlanta Hawks, 102-96 vs the New York Nicks, 87-79 with the Phoenix Suns and 100-89 vs Charlotte Bobcats, the Celtics re-established themselves for any doubters in the Eastern conference as a defensive team and playoff contender.
I wouldn't go as far as saying the team did a favour to the Coach and his son, but the timing was perfect for the team to relax ahead of some tough games next week. Paul Pierce had another miserable night making 5 of 15 shots. May "The Truth" get better.
LETS GO CELTICS !!!
